“…The mucilage obtained from the nopal fertilized with compost had a higher amount of both sugars and direct and total reducers, the pH is not as acidic as that found in other nopales ranging between 3 and 3.5 (Matsuhiro et al, 2005), the yield was 74% for nopal (compost) and 78% nopal (manure). Physically the compost nopal showed higher viscosity compared to manure nopal.…”

“…El mucílago obtenido del nopal abonado con composta presentó una mayor cantidad de azucares tanto reductores directos como totales, el valor de pH no es tan ácido como el encontrado en otros nopales que oscila entre 3 y 3.5 (Matsuhiro et al, 2005), el rendimiento que se obtuvo fue de 74% para nopal (composta) y 78% nopal (estiércol). Físicamente el nopal de composta presentó mayor viscosidad comparado con el nopal de estiércol.…”

“…Nopal mucilage is a heteropolysaccharide water soluble (Matsuhiro et al, 2006), which is stored in special cells, thinwalled, although clorenchyma found in the parenchyma and are most abundant in the latter. Mucilage has the property of retaining strongly osmotic water (Sudzuki, 1999).…”

“…El mucílago de nopal es un heteropolisacárido, soluble en agua (Matsuhiro et al, 2006), que se almacena en células especiales de pared delgada, que aunque se encuentran en el clorénquima y en el parénquima, son más abundantes en esta última. El mucílago tiene la propiedad osmótica de retener fuertemente agua (Sudzuki, 1999).…”

“…The main challenge in the separation of the red pigment from the cactus pear pulp is the mucilage, a complex mixture of polysaccharides, less than 50% of which corresponds to a pectin-like polymer MATSUHIRO et al, 2006). The traditional process used to remove it involves precipitation of the mucilage using ethanol .…”
